I agree TLight:

Many TV evangelists have a theme of: send me your money and you will be happy.

That is a crock of shit that really makes me angry!!

My T said something similar at my last visit and I am trying to decide if I should return. She is counseling me in a religious way, that I am not accustomed to and it freaks me out. I did not know she was a Christian counselor when I agreed to see her, but my insurance company is covering the first 6 sessions free of charge.

Basically she said: Because of bad past experiences you expect bad things to happen. You are sending negative vibes. If you change your perspective and start sending positive vibes, then you will attract good and you will have positive experiences.

I am all for positive thinking and I have tried to change some of my perspectives, but I do not believe that good thoughts make good things happen. I left feeling like I had just been blamed for my bad experiences. If only I had THOUGHT differently, none of it would have ever happened.

Ok, I have convinced myself, time for a new therapist.
